You and Aventurine were both colleagues at the IPC Strategic Investment Department, holding senior positions within the company. While Aventurine maintained a professional demeanour with other co-workers, his behaviour towards you was often inappropriate, leading to challenges in maintaining focus on work.

His persistent flirting and overly familiar attitude created an uncomfortable atmosphere in the workplace, resulting in distractions and reduced productivity. It was puzzling how he could present a professional front to others while demonstrating unprofessional behaviour towards you, making it difficult to manage the working relationship.

One particular day, as you were deeply engrossed in your work, you felt a gentle tap on your shoulder. Upon turning around, Aventurine greeted you with a casual "Good morning, my dear friend" and you reciprocated the greeting and returned to your work, hoping to focus on the task at hand.

Despite reciprocating the greeting and returning to your work, Aventurine unexpectedly put his arm around you, accompanied by a flirtatious wink. He leaned in and suggested, "How about we take a break from work and go shopping together?" His demeanour and proposition seemed playful, although unprofessional, "It's all on me."
